Community Garden

Volunteers in Dyment continue to move park revitalization forward, planting flowers and building out new beds at the Recreation Hall Park. The work, supported by local partners, is part of a broader effort to strengthen placemaking and expand outdoor recreation in a space that has served the community for nearly a century. With regular drop-in hours at the hall and upcoming events like the Canada Day Festival, the park is seeing steady, renewed use.
